4+20 Friendly Commemorative Shirt?

[ojaidave]

Any thoughts on the t-shirt designed to commemorate Duke's ACC Tourney victory? I clicked the link (https://breakingt.com/products/420-friendly-devils?rfsn=82674.0a5e7)in happy anticipation of purchasing a cool t-shirt and was incredibly disappointed. Clearly I must not be the target audience, but I think a gratuitous 420 reference shows a real lack of creativity. Common DBR, you can do better.

i get the 4 reference (4 wins in 4 days), i think the 20 is the # of ACC tournaments Duke has won.

Totally agree. I was hoping since the Tourney ended DBR or someone would do a nice T-shirt referencing the 4 games in 4 days, beating Carolina, etc. And this is what we get?

"420 Friendly" apparently "is a way to express the acceptance of smoking pot or accepting someone who does." However you feel about MJ, it really has no place here. Make a T-shirt a 10 year-old can wear.

Didn't someone famous once say "Lighten up, Francis"?

Let the guys have some fun. If you want a licensed product, I suggest you check out Duke Stores:

There's only so much DBR can do. Can't use school names, etc. Slow down, folks.

Ok, I'm sure it sounded like a good idea when they came up with it...obviously baked out of their minds.

[dudog84]

Was also amused that they came up with it after talking to their "buds".

Full disclosure: I have never bought pot, I just find it hard to get through life without a sense of humor.

[mark34]

I'm usually pretty chill, but a shirt to celebrate a monumental achievement by our Blue Devils over 4 days is just about pot? That's pretty weak and dumb. Either I am completely out of it or that shirt is completely tone deaf. I miss the humor I guess. I prefer to be positive, so I will say it is a nice shirt to celebrate pot smoking and Duke at the same time. If that was the target, well done.

Maybe it was "light 'em up Francis"

[DukieInKansas]

Color me naive - never caught the 420 reference. :o

[devildeac]

And I thought they were honoring Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Silly me.

Just like Deja Vu all over again. :o;)

That's Great!!!

I'll admit it. I didn't either.

But, I only glanced at it. I knew that the shirt would not feature any Duke logos or copyrighted material, so I anticipated not wanting one before I saw it.

[Chard]

And here I was all worked up about the cost (plus shipping). $30 for a shirt? A t-shirt? A shirt? $30?

Wah?

[LasVegas]

Tip for the game is 4:20 here on the west coast tomorrow...

More expensive than a . . . oh, never mind.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Has PJ Hairston bought his yet?

Agreed it's not the best shirt, guessing it won't be a great moneymaker.

I would happily wear one that says 4in4. Being a long haired hippie, I'd be tempting a conversation with a cop wearing the 420 one. (It would be a short conversation, but an unwanted one. ;) )

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Not interested in the shirt. Yes, I recognized it for what it was when I first saw it, thanks to the DBR when 420 came up a few years ago in a thread and I asked what the fuss was. The things you can learn here!

You never saw that movie Reefer Madness, did you?

It seems awkward to me as well, but then I stop to think: what if the reference had been to alcohol? Would we be as uncomfortable? If not, why not?

One of the two has not been illegal since about 1933.

[dukebluesincebirth]

Love the shirt! I'll take 2. And pass them to the left.

[cspan37421]

that's the only reason I could think of ... and not 100% the case anymore in what, 13 states? (for now)

[wavedukefan70s]

Not my thing but im not knocking it either.

I believe it is still a scheduled substance under Federal law and that applies to all States - whether enforced is another issue.

Then we'd be posting in the Ymmm Beer thread!

One of the two has not been illegal since about 1933.

Despite the fact that it has statistically proven to be a far more deadly substance than the one that is illegal.
